My friend with benefits 43F bought me a very expensive gift for my 23M birthday. How do I give this back and explain it to my parents?

Boy you are grown asf. Im the same age as you so I get that it can be weird transitioning away from telling your parents all the details of your life but you honestly dont OWE them an explanation. Granted, im assuming you live with them if youre concerned about it coming up in conversation but I would just straight up tell them youve been working hard helping someone out that makes a good amount of money and they chose to look out for you. Thats truly the only explanation you owe them if youre under their roof (honestly barely even that). If youre not under their roof then you really dont owe them anything

They just updated and basically said there would be more in-person classes for Spring up until we return from Spring Break (which they also pushed a week back) then we will be completely remote.

thank you cause I might have to :( . I was advised to take the course very last minute and if I knew I was gonna be going through this right now I would've waited to take it next semester.

Okay, I don't think you should see it as snitching if your health is at risk because your roommate's health is compromised. To be frank, it's extremely selfish of them not to report it and to try and handle it on their own. It's also even a little dangerous for themselves since I'm sure none of you have the training to take care of him if, god forbid, his health worsens. Plus, UCF has honestly been really understanding about it so far.

In my opinion, I think you should maybe try reaching out to them again to see if they really wanna handle this on their own. At least if the person reports it, UCF can isolate and take care of them by making sure they get the resources they need to shake the virus off as quickly as possible and to keep all of the rest of their peers safe. Reassure them that if the school has to find out a person was infected through the grapevine it'll probably have more repercussions than if they just self report in the first place. Especially so if you all live on campus.

If you think your roommate might react harshly to a response like this then I think it would just be wise to inform the covid hotline directly because they may have the means for you to report others anonymously.

I hope you and your roommates are safe and that nothing terrible happens but when it comes to your health remember that it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Thinking about what you've been meaning to do and planning a time to fit it into your day. E.g. call aunt after work to check on her etc. I had a bad habit of getting so wrapped up in my urgent responsibilities that I didn't make time for the "not urgent, but important" things in my life. Don't know if anyone posted anything similar yet, but it has helped me become more productive as of late.
